Expanding Applications for High Capacity Lithium-Ion Batteries
In terms of their specific energy density, lithium-ion batteries offer approximately three times the level of mass energy density than nickel
metal-hydride rechargeable batteries.
Adopting proprietary safety technologies, Panasonic’s products deliver both high capacity and reliability and are accordingly attracting wide acclaim.
While playing a major role in a variety of consumer devices that form the mainstay pillar of the mobile era, Panasonic’s products are
widely used in other areas including hybrid vehicles and EVs. The Company is also actively promoting broad-based applications for
its Energy Creation-storage Linked System in combination with the high-efficiency HIT photovoltaic modules.
